I am a sole practitioner architect with a broad range of experience from expo pavilions to home renovations.
I find that residential work in particular gives me great satisfaction, helping people realise their hopes and dreams and improve their living environment.
Early in my career I determined not to be an 'Ivory Tower' architect. To get fully grounded in buildability, cost, time-planning and sustainability I obtained my Builder's Registration and got my hands dirty in all the trades building a number of houses.
This has since informed all my designs.

We provide a comprehensive service that begins with site and spatial analysis, before we start the process of design and documentation. We then move onto negotiating with a contractor and can supervise the entire construction providing quality and cost control for our clients.
A high value is placed on the ingrained history of existing buildings and spaces. Where possible we re-interpret existing spatial relationships and integrate recycled materials. This celebration of the inherent character provides inspiration for the design of textural and functional spaces.
We design all internal and external elements for our projects including cabinetry as well as specifying quality fixtures and fitting from tiles to tapware.

Teneriffe Architects Joe Adsett Architects (JAA) is an award winning architectural practice specialising in luxury residential projects.
The studio is led by Director Joe Adsett and subscribes to a design philosophy of subtropical modernism – namely architecture that responds in a contemporary and timeless manner to the unique circumstances and environment of each site.
We are an emerging and energetic design practice committed to pursuing design excellence. We have numerous exciting projects starting construction which we believe will set a new benchmark for Architectural design.
Unlike other boutique Architects who use basic software like 2D auto cad and Sketchup we use Autodesk Revit and 3DS Max. We made a significant capital investment in cutting edge software and equipment and we can confidently say that we offer our clients something completely different to other architects. Our 3D software accurately describes every inch of the building. Rather than looking at plans and elevations our clients and contractors can fully understand our 3D model and be able to visualise the building and surrounding site. From the earliest concept we can test the views from every room, the way the light comes through each window at each time of the day and resolve privacy issues from neighbouring properties.

Designing spaces for people to live, work and play.
I started MBO Architects to offer an intimate architectural service to Brisbanites who are looking at renovating or extending their existing homes, or designing a new home.
I have lived in the inner Brisbane suburbs for over 40 years. I'm incredibly passionate about our city and the unique character of its homes. As an architect I’m fortunate to be able to contribute to the enhancement and restoration of the existing housing stock and the insertion of respectful, modern new homes and additions.
My working style is very collaborative. I like to take all interested parties on the journey from design to completion. Forming close relationships with my clients, other consultants and builders to ensure we are all on the same page. This method breeds enthusiasm for the project, and motivates everyone to focus on the best possible outcomes.
If you're looking for someone to work closely with you on your next project I'd love to be involved.

“We bought a near-derelict house built in 1888 at Auchenflower and entrusted the renovation and rejuvenation to Tania. We could not have been more happy with her understanding and treatment of the project. The finished project was a masterful re-invigoration of a classic Queenslander. Her use of space, versatility and breezeways really transformed the house into a beautiful and comfortable family home. Thank you, Tania!”

“I thoroughly recommend Evan and his team at Focus Architecture. Evan took the time to listen to our needs and delivered a product which reflected our budgetary and functional requirements. During the course of our project our vision changed a number of times. Evan responded with flexibility and patience and worked closely with us to achieve our outcomes. Evan provides a very personal service and he will take the time to listen to you and provide feedback and problem solving without being patronising. We are already planning for Evan to design our next project which will be our forever home in the Lockyer Valley.”

“Certainly my highest recommendation. Our project would not be what it is without this team and it is superb! Perhaps what sets these architects apart from others is their ability to take a clients visions and turn them into a stunning reality. They work very well with others and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely use them again.”

“My husband & I have renovated before but knew this time we needed a professional's advice. Skyring Architects provided us with detailed sketch plans which nailed the design taking into account our lifestyle needs, the site specifics & our limited budget. This DIY service was exactly what we needed as we already had project management & interiors experience. Stephanie made the whole experience seamless & her service as extremely efficient.”

“After coming to the conclusion that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, we contacted Dion and others to discuss our options. All the other people offered to come to our house to provide a free quote and consultation.
Dion was the only one that charged for this service. After initially baulking at the price, we reluctantly decided to proceed with his consultation fee. We were quite nervous in paying this amount because we did not know what value Dion would provide.
Even on the day that Dion was to arrive, we still had doubts whether this was the right thing to do - but we decided to have an open mind. Dion not only arrived on time but he actually talked to us and wanted to get a feel for what we did in the different parts of the house. Yes his brief was that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, but within 20 minutes of Dion's consultation, he was challenging us on that notion.
His challenging questions and realistic answers shed new light on what we thought we wanted. The easy path that Dion could have taken was to agree with what we wanted. If we went down that path, Dion would have been happy but after living with the outdoor entertainment area, we would not have been. Dion instead really listened to our needs and presented ideas that went to the heart of what we wanted.
His ideas were fantastic and the consultation fee was, in our eyes, a small price compared to the value that he provided. If you have any doubts on the value of this fee for service, don't. You will be amazed on what he delivers.
By the way, the other people who supplied the free quotes spent as little time as they could with us and did not provide any ideas on the solution that we actually wanted.”

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Newmarket, Queensland who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?

An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Newmarket, Queensland, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Newmarket locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Newmarket, Queensland architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Queensland subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.

Would you say your work has a defining style? (The architect's personal style could interfere with your vision.)

Will you help with hiring a project manager and subcontractors?

What do you estimate the cost will be?

What will I need to provide?

Do you foresee any complications with this project?
